Why does a personal blog page need HTTPS? It's an output page, I read the contents and leave, I'm never submitting any of my information across the wire.

Someone along the way might modify the page? Unless they're using HSTS, it won't matter.

I'm all for encryption, but I'm also all for using tools when necessary, and not complicating things when not.

It's an answer, but I still find it entirely unconvincing for a static personal blog. Better? Sure. Necessary? Damning if it's absent? No.
